Hot Toys / Sideshow.... best Vader opinions.

[supergoose]

So I don't own any Hot Toys or Sideshow but I would like to add a Vader to my focus. There's quite a few options and I'm after opinions from any Hot Toys / Sideshow collectors as to what you think is the best version of him currently out there. Some of the helmet sizes look a bit off to me Also, I read that a few of them have issues with the main bodysuit surface material flaking ? Any advice greatly appreciated, cheers

Don't have any myself I've only had Kotobukiya, my lad has Hot Toys and prefers to Sideshow for accuracy

There's a comparison here may help

Well I've taken the plunge and gone for the Hot Toys ESB MMS452 with the Cloud City display base.
Got a pretty decent deal on it unused in original box - looking forward to it arriving

Cheers mate, I'm now looking for something to put it in. Feel like it needs an acrylic tomb to protect it from dust Will need to wait for it to arrive to get its full assembled dimensions first though

WOW the attention to detail is amazing

 

[Michael Sith]

Impressive

It's an epic piece really impressed and yes the detail is incredible Don't think I'll be using the lights much though..... I thought there'd be a connection from the base to the figure and slap a few AA batteries in but no lol..... there's 3 AAA for the base. 3 tiny cell batteries in the arm for the saber, 2 tiny cells round his back for the chest box and get this..... 2 absolutely miniscule cell batteries in EACH of the belt boxes and all of the above have their own little switch to turn each of the lights on It's a marvel in engineering really
